Today mostly prepping and primping those pretty back pleats for a robe a l’anglaise - got to get them just right before pressing and sewing down. Again it’s IKEA for the win 😎

OK - new phone arrived, all set up right out of the box and I can take card payments again/park the car/confirm in the App/post those parcels/check the time/check the weather ..and breathe!! phew! I am shocked at how dependent I have become on this little piece of tech - and yes I know they were designed that way but I still find it pretty scary!

My mobile phone screen has died - I'm not ignoring you I'm just having a meltdown at the thought of the incredible number of things I can't do without a functioning mobile...................sorry - no pictures 🤣🥹
